The author of this journal article has contributed to multiple journals within the Oxford Journals. This is why I believe that this is a quality source. I consider this article to be written for the college level student.The article discusses the relation of cardiovascular disorders being caused by behaviors such as type D personalities. Topics that Sher hits on are type D characteristics, type D and cardiac events, and more on the side effects towards health when having a type D personality.This article also examines the increasing and decreasing of cortisol and how it affects moods that are related to distressed personalities.[1]Nicolasa11 (talk) 08:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Though there is no single author for this new letter, this article strengthens the relation of heart problems with type D personalities. This new letter contains a questionnaire to identify type D personalities, and has examples of case studies. Dr. Denollet, the one to carry out the studies, has had part in five publications, and I feel that he is an appropriate source. His studies inculded subject through their life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolasa11 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[2]Nicolasa11 (talk) 07:27, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked over a majority of the authors for this article and I am comfortable to use this article for a source. This article is written as a case-control study. The format of the article is written in college level, maybe even written for scholars, for some information is difficult to follow. The authors of this article relate tinnitus, which is a persistent noise in the ear, to type D personality. The relation between the two is that particular behaviors tell how noticeable tinnitus is. This is tested by observing the patients behaviors, and noting the behaviors that are associated with type D personality to the patients that have tinnitus. This article seems to be completely scientific not showing any set point of view. The authors of this study tested and concluded that tinnitus is related to type D personalities.[3]Nicolasa11 (talk) 08:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article relates the negative emotions one may feel with this personality trait with depression, as some people believe, however, it is not the case. It basically talks about the emotional stress and negativity related to distressed personality. [4]KTomnitz (talk) 04:16, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Anger, stress, and negative emotions are all associated with the distressed personality. There are many studies, like prognostic studies, for outcomes of either emotional distress or medical disorders. Some of these can help in figuring how severe related diseases can be. This article, along with many others, has the discussion of the related illnesses. [5]KTomnitz (talk) 04:16, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that this article would be useful because of the author. He was used in the previous reference as well, and because he has multiple articles, he may be a good source on the topic. This author also speaks a lot about the problems and disorders associated with this. [6]KTomnitz (talk) 04:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This article seems like it would fit nicely with the article. I looked at the author and she has a PhD and studies in clinical psychology, so she is more than qualified. She describes the effects type D personality has on people in different perspectives. [7]MLynnH101 (talk) 05:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I looked over the full article and it gives some great information on how type D was discovered. I also checked out the author and he has a PhD in the field, so he should be qualified for this article. [8]MLynnH101 (talk) 05:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
